Sometimes that girl she looks right into ya. Right into your eyes. And, you know, the thing about a girl... she's got lively eyes. sparkly eyes. Like a doll's eyes. When she comes at ya, doesn't seem to be moving... until she glomps ya, and those shiny eyes roll over white and then... ah then you hear that terrible high-pitched squealin'. The ocean turns pink, and despite all the poundin' and the hollerin', they all come in and they... Moe you to pieces.

Just what is the nature of everything? On the most basic, fundamental, and practical level... do you know? Do you really know? Just think for a minute. Just what is? And you'll find you have no answer. Or one that is inherently inferior. So then what does this mean? It is simple.

I suggest a primer on general physics, quantum mechanics, and then a little M-theory (in that order), if you want a purely empirical explanation.It won't explain why anything exists, just what we think is happening when things exist based on the best of our flawed but improving observations.

But eventually, though we may chase these hidden particles and "strings," and immerse ourselves in theory-play, we're going to hit a wall. Or perhaps more accurately, a door. A door which leads into practicality of the deeper and stranger elements of the theories of quantum physics and other unknown elements of reality.

Your scientists have scratched the surface of this yet have refrained at large from pursuing this rabbit hole. But they'll run out of room the farther they go.

The nature of the universe is still unknown to us. I would say, completely. Our scientific understanding is, mmm, negligible, you might say, compared with the total sum of the universe's workings. One of these elements, you see, is the many-worlds interpretation of quantum mechanics, which is correct. Not only that, but it is accessible.

Your scientists might discover this but will not be the ones to bring it to light, however. This is where everything comes full-circle.

>>4829Insofar as I know, the answer quantum mechanics provides to why is simply "why not?" It's a question that has bothered me for a long time (why should anything exist?) but quantum mechanics as a rule that might well have created itself gives us an answer only it can...

Desuchan, I'm curious about something. I have a question for all of you, and I'm going to phrase it as a sort of hypothetical situation.

What would you do if you learned Rozen Maiden was real? Somebody, some brave medium, decided he wouldn't hide his dolls (we'll say the twins came to him) from the world but instead show it to them, taking them with him on his daily adventures... to the store, to the movies, the park, wherever. Certainly their appearance would garner a bit of curiosity from passersby, and then there would be those few who would recognize who they were.

In the beginning, it would seem that this strange man just had cousins or nieces who liked to play dress-up a little too much, but with more and more sightings, as well as encounters that might demonstrate that these girls were much more intelligent and mature than their diminutive appearances might suggest, rumors would begin to circulate on the net.

"This is probably some weird hoax, but what if...?"

Being a bastion of Rozen Maiden fandom, this place would surely find these rumors. Some, I expect, might discount it all as a hoax, or internet sensationalism, but as others look deeper, tying together whatever videos or photos the more pressing curious folk might manage to get and post, and as time goes on, as sightings continue, a curious phenomenon is realized: there is no proof, amongst all this internet conversation, against their actual existence, that it is all fake. And, surely, their heterochromatic eyes, or their unusually small proportions, would be noticed by the discerning fans here.

I do realize the implications. If it were me, I'd count on there being two groups: those who want to get to us with the hope that we'd somehow know how to bring other fictional characters to reality, and then those who just want the maidens. While either group would have its share of dangerous folk, the latter would be much more dangerous. I could hand the former an explanation that would sound legitimate and keep them busy for a long time (or one that actually is legitimate, depending on the circumstances), but those who would be after the maidens, well, they'd be after the maidens. Telling them they could have their own would do no good for most, I expect, if they see that their goal is right before their eyes. Seeing is believing, show don't tell, etc.

There are some who would stop at nothing to take them, that much is certain. And though the maidens have powers, and even assuming they could use these powers to defend themselves from being taken, the people that would be after them would know just what those powers were. They'd dream up every possible way around them, and sooner or later, they might find success.

Personally, I would try to be honest with and befriend the medium. Much safer, and I could perhaps actually be friends with the dolls which would be much more satisfying than stealing them against their will. It would only be a matter of time before they'd turn the tables, I think. Kidnapping, or trying to eliminate the medium would just be too risky. I might be inches from the medium's throat with a knife when suddenly I'm finding myself drawn by Suiseiseki's vines and quartered by Souseiseki's vines.

I wouldn't rest until Gin was mine. I'd do anything and everything I could possibly come up with, not only to take her from whatever poor sap happens to get her, but also convince her that I'm her man.

And if the medium tries to fight back? He's done. I don't give a shit about morals if it could mean that she's mine. Yes, I'd drop everything for this OP, you can be damn sure.

It all depends on who >>4860 is and who her original medium was. If, for example, her medium was some Megu-analouge, than you can bet that anyone who tries to separate them will recieve feathers in the eyes (and the ponos). If, however, her medium were a complete dickhead of a man (remember, Ginsama hates men) then there may be a happy end. However, since >>4860 is also a man, he will most likely die anyway.

I do believe this question has not been asked, at least not on /ro/ anyway, so here goes...

Given a choice, what doll would you most like to be medium for? Alternatively, who would you not want to be medium for under any circumstances?

Pic related, Boku for me, simply because she's probably the only doll aside from Shinku or Kanaria whose company I could stand for more than 15 minutes. She's also more mature than the others, and definitely the most loyal of them all.

>>4854Hmm a mind short-circuited type. Still worth the try but i have to lock her or myself in the bank vault before i can sleep. I think only a very intelligent guy with mind tricks will overcome her threat and as well be fitted to be with her. Another meaning, brain wash her.
